STORM-SASI-I HANGER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented se t. 27, 1921.

. Application filed April 23, 1920. Serial No. 376,010.

ToaZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, Jumps J. Sorrunnnr, a citizen of the United States,- residingat St. Paul, in the county of Ramsey, and State of Minnesota, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Storm-Sash Hangers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in sashhangers, and more particularly to that type employing two separable hinge members, the one being secured to the storm or screen sash and the other to the window frame. I

The primary object of this invention is to provide a construction of sash hanger, which will not permit of separation of the parts under the normal use of the window sash, and which is simple in construction and less expensive to manufacture than devices of this character heretofore employed.

In the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is an elevation of a structure showing a window sash and window frame and my improved hangers in use thereon; Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the hook or window frame member of my improved hanger; Fig. 3 is an edge view of both members of my improved hanger shown joined together and mounted upon a window frame and sash when the window frame is in closed position; Fig. l is front elevation of the loop member of the hanger; Fig. 5 is a plan of the blank from which the hook member of my improved hanger is formed; and Fig. 6 is a view similar to Fig. 3, the sash being shown in outwardly inclined or open position.

My improved hanger is composed of two members, the hook member A and the loop member B, said hook member being adapted to be mounted on the window frame C and the loop member being adapted to be mounted upon the sash D. The hook member is formed from the blank E (see Fig. 5), which is adapted to be stamped from sheet metal and shaped with a pair of wing members 10 and 11 and an intermediate body 12, said wings being disposed substantially in a right angle. This blank is shaped by flexing the body diagonally in its middle portion to form an outwardly tapering hook 13 and at the junction of the wings and hook the blank is flexed to form a pair of back plates lying in a corresponding plane, from which the hook member projects outwardly.

These wing or back members have screw receiving holes 14 into which screws are passed to fasten the hook member on the window frame C. r The upper edges of the hook member immediately adjacent to the back plates are formed with deep notches or grooves 15, which are adapted to receive and hold the upper portion or pintle 16 over the eye opening 18 of the loop member 13. The two back plates when the hook member is completed are spaced slightly apart as illustrated in Fig. 2, so that the hook may be formed into a channel for producing greater strength and rigidity of construction with a minimum amount of material. The loop member re sembles a plate or body 17 through which screw receiving holes 18 pass and receive screws for fastening the body of the loop member on the window sash adjacent to its top edge. The loop portion of the member B is offset outwardly at 19, so as to accommodate the thickness of the body of the hook member, leaving the outer surface of the sash in substantially exact alinement with the outer surface of the window frame when the hanger is secured upon these parts. The depth of the notches 15 causes the loop of the bale member to be held securely 1n place when the window sash isclosed or swung outwardly without danger of lifting out of connection with the hook member. The length of the hook 13 and the upward and outward slanting of the lower surface 20 thereof permits the sash to swing freely, but prevents the loop member from disconnecting from the hook unintentionally. When it is desired to lift the sash out of connection with the hook, it must be swung into a position with the loop member at sub stantially right angles to the lower edge 20 of the hook, whereupon the sash can be purposely lifted with the loop out of the notches or grooves and disconnected from the hook. In use the hook and loop members are secured to the window frame and sash by screws 21 or other suitable means, as many pairs of hangers being employed as desired, the customary number being two or more sets for each window sash. The upper edges 22 of the hook member are of considerablelength and extend horizontally, whereby the loop member can be guided more easily into registration in the notches 15 of the hook member.

Havi g described my invention what I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent is:

A window sash hanger comprising, in combination, a pair of separable, hinged plates, one constituting a loop member, the other a hook member, said members being adapted to be respectively fastened to a sash and window frame, said hook member consisting of a plate formed with two angularly disposed wings and an intermediate body, said body being flexed diagonally to form an outwardly tapering hook, said wings being flexed at the base of said hook to form a supporting back, disposed in a corresponding plane, the upper edges of said hook adjoining said back being notched to form a loop receiving journal seat for the loop member, the hook and loop of said members being so proportioned that the loop member is locked against removal from the hook memberin the extreme angular positions of the former with respect to the latter, said loop member being capable of removal from said hook member only in its intermediate position, wherein the sash rests at a substantially small angle with respect to the window frame, whereby accidental removal of said sash from said window frame by wind or otherwise isavoided.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification.
